I don't speak any of the Asian languages but it is east to match the type with the name:
People's Liberation Army Navy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Liberation_Army_Navy):

Type 03 class (Whiskey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskey_class_submarine)) (decommissioned)
Type 031 class (Golf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf_class_submarine)) (SSB)
Type 033 class (Romeo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_class_submarine))
Wuhan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_class_submarine#Chinese_Romeo_class_submarin es_and_their_derivatives) class (Type 033G, license built Romeo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_class_submarine))
Ming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming_class_submarine) class (Type 035/based on Romeo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_class_submarine))
Song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Song_class_submarine) class (Type 039)
Yuan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuan_class_submarine) class (Type 041?)
Kilo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilo_class_submarine) class
Han (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_class) class (Type 091) (SSN)
Xia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xia_class_submarine) class (Type 092) (SSBN)
Shang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_093_submarine) class (Type 093) (SSN)
Jin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_094_submarine) class (Type 094) (SSBN)The rest of it appears to be:
year built; Sub Length height and width; torpedo tube size and # of tubes,
Another year; ?,?; crew size.

From google:

米 = M (meters)
類型 = type
人 = People

you might try asking in the japanese section.

Been a long time since I've spoken Chinese and I was never that good at reading/writing it, but if you want to wait a few days I can do it.

As an old sonarman from the 70's those are very interesting pictures we could only hear them and see no evil ... :lol:

The last one is so noisy (and ugly) they couldn't leave port without being detected.

Yeh, they havent succeeded in making an attractive sub have they...
